So Long to the Headstrong

Lyrics

[Verse 1] This morning I received airmail letter three From my connection overseas I pulled the paper back You begin your attack and it reads: [Pre-Chorus] "Of all the places I laid down my Head I think of two I regret" Love isn't easy my baby you're saying today [Chorus] But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay On a continental steamship sailin' away On a one way ticket on a first class airplane I want to know what you're thinking about Don't just let me go [Verse 2] Four hundred days have passed since I heard from you last I'm getting worried, I admit Maybe it's nothing much Business and chores and such Oh I just don't know [Pre-Chorus] Of all the places I laid down my head I think of two I regret Love isn't easy my baby will tell you today [Chorus] But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay On a continental steamship sailin' away On a one way ticket on a first class airplane I want to know what you're thinking about Don't just let me go [Bridge] I'm saying so long I want my baby back I know it's hard to see Why she's in love with me I'm sayin' so long I want my baby back I know it's hard to see Why she's in love with me [Outro] So long to the headstrong I wasn't qualified to lead that city life That's all I have to say
